The Unfettered Bloke

My sister-in-law posted this photo earlier and it made me laugh. It’s the Christmas story told by my 3-year old nephew, Eli. Can you tell the story?

This Sunday we heard another great message from my friend and pastor, Phil Pike. He preached a Christmas message, probably not unlike others heard in churches throughout the world this week. The Christmas story is one we’re all familiar with, and one we’ve all heard hundreds of times and know inside and out… or do we really?

For several years now, Christmas just hasn’t felt like Christmas to me. Perhaps it’s just a feeling that dissipates with age? Am I the only one that feels this way? All I know is that it’s been a really long time since Christmas didn’t just seem like any other day on the calendar.
